He really is. Most people would be so disgustingly jealous of HH from the get-go, but Bush just has these tiiinnny flashes of it that. <33333
I think my favorite line from that section is But he could bear fatigue and hunger and thirst, and he doubted if Hornblower could.. It's such a quiet, succint little statement of responsibility and toughness and endurance. Bush has been working just as hard as Hornblower, but he's still ready to shoulder the harder burden, and it's all becaues he CAN.
Also. That part in the section just previous where 10K people run up and ask Bush to do eight hundred things at once? Together with how we know that he loves being able to focus on doing one thing at a time, it really makes a desk job at Sheerness sound like the WORST IDEA EVER.
